Introduction and GSoC project requests
Hello mailman devs and Happy New Year.
Since this summer i have been looking at the mailman project as it was the first project that attracted me, being a tool i use at my university to collaborate with my fellow sysadmins.
I am generally interested in participating in GSoC at some time but first i would like to start contributing in some way so i can develop better programming skills,learn code researching and bugfixing and generally give back to software that helps me do my work better.
The last days i asked around in the irc and gathered resources,links and started learning more about the mailman project.In detail i read about the architecture of mailman 3, differences with mailman 2 and tried reading almost anything i could find helpful in the wiki so i can better understand how mailman really works. I haven't set up my own instance of mailman at the moment because of some hardware problems but i have started reading some code in general, plus looking at the easy bugs listed in the wiki.
On to the requests now. I saw two project ideas for GSoC 2014 that really interested me and i would like some guidance around them so i could read more on them. Could someone give me some status on the implementation of them at the moment? Were these ideas for mailman 3, mailman 2 or both? The 2 ideas are
- Full anonymization
- No-logging Mode
Thank you in advance Konstantinos N
Hello again Mailman developers. I have received some more guidance so i wanted to correct some mistakes in my previous email. On 01/05/2015 08:09 PM, Konstantinos N wrote:

- Full anonymization [2]

I read again the GSoC wiki page for 2014 [1] and saw that Mailman 2 development has been frozen so the projects i was asking about are indeed for Mailman 3. Still, i would like all the help you could give me on these 2 subjects. Specifically:
Is anyone working on implementing either of these ideas right now?
Are there any more specifications i could read or similar features
in other projects or services that i could use as reference?
Thank you again Konstantinos N
